“We have left our dog with Alisha & Cameron on several occasions now. Rue absolutely adores going to their house and always comes home tuckered out, happy, and healthy! They are very attentive, experienced, and regularly send us pup updates during our trips. We cannot recommend them enough and will continue using their services for future travels!”
“This is the second time Tanya had watched Georgie. He got so excited when we pulled up to her house. She was super flexible with watching him and always offers great care.”
“It is the third time Amanda watches Pierce for us! She always send pictures of him, keep us posted on he is doing. Definitely recommend her for taking care of your dog! Thank you again Amanda!”
“Karlee was so patient with my nervous kitty! It was such a relief knowing he was somewhere safe, even if nervous. She gave him the affection/ pets he loves at his level of comfort. He got to be a bit spicy at the end of his visit, but that had nothing to do with her care. Thank you so much for watching him! The daily updates were so reassuring for me!”
“Cindy was super nice! Also made sure we got lots of pictures and video of our puppy! Would recommend her to anyone. She was also very responsive with messages and coordinating everything! If we need it again we will definately be checking with her first!”
“Lori and her family were wonderful hosts for our Great Dane Gretta! Through the week we received pictures and updates on Gretta's stay. Immediately we could tell she was welcomed in and was feeling right at home. We will definitely utilize Lori in the future and would highly recommend Lori if you need someone to trust with your puppy!”
“We were quite happy leaving Marlowe with Melissa for a long weekend we were out of town. Marlowe seemed to have a great time, and Melissa was very helpful and communicative. We have used many Rover sitters thru the years, and we'd highly recommend Melissa for your pet-sitting or boarding needs!”
“Maria is great… she accommodated me for a last minute weekend for a funeral that we needed to attend. She was patient with my dog and showed h lots of love”
“Nicole and her family are so kind and loving. They did such an amazing job watching Pepper when we were out of town. Nicole sent daily updates and photos, which were fun to see each day. I felt so comfortable knowing our pup was being well cared for and I was able to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about her. Thank you so much, Nicole and family!!”
“Meg was amazing with our Jasper! We could tell he had a great time with her and got his own little vacation while we were on ours! She was great at communicating with us and kept us updated every day on how he was doing! I was able to fully relax and put my mind at ease seeing the cute picture updates on his adventures throughout the day and knowing that he was being loved and well taken care of while we were away!”
“My dog, Tiger, was very well cared for during his stay at Heidy’s. She kept me informed about how he was adjusting and he enjoyed spending time in the big back yard. Her dogs are delightful too! I look forward to returning to Heidy’s in the future and also plan to utilize her grooming services.”
“Renee and James are wonderful! They took excellent care of our terrier Lily, even taking her for walks during the terribly cold weekend she was there. They sent photos and kept me updated while she was staying with them. Highly recommended.”
“Kelsey was absolutely incredible. She took on my three dogs like it was nothing. Having three dogs sometimes intimidates people, but those fur babies are part of the family. She kept in communication up until I dropped the dogs off in her care. She was compassionate, and welcomed them into her house with open arms. She was updating me, and sending pictures of there fun adventures! We can’t wait to bring them back again!”
“Awesome dog caretaker. Frequent pictures and updates of the dogs throughout their time away from us! I’ll definitely return when we need someone to watch the dogs again. Thanks again, greatly appreciated!”
“April was wonderful with Hurley! We received lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was being well taken care of our entire vacation. We were nervous leaving our little guy with someone we didn’t know but April put us right at ease! We will definitely book with April again!”
“Sophan was wonderful!! She sent pictures every day and kept me informed on what he was doing. Dudley was so tired when I bought him home because he had so much fun! I will definitely use Sophan again when we need someone to watch Dudley!”
“Wow!! I almost wish i had another reason to board Shiloh this week. He was well taken care of, played his butt off and had a great time. Communication was wonderful including some terrific pictures that helped us know he was doing well. I will strongly endorse Sara and will be happy to use her exclusively”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elk River
We love Kristi! Kristi absolutely loves the dogs she cares for. We know Hazel is being loved and cared for each time she stays with her. Kristi keeps her occupied with puzzles and tunnels, walks, play time, with any other dogs and rest time. Kristi is the best! Highly recommend every time!
We loved Lindsay! She was so great with Moose, and we really appreciated the pictures she sent while we were away. We loved how she let him just make himself at home with her, took him on plenty of walks, and even let him keep a toy he fell in love with during his stay! We will definitely have Moose visit Lindsay more often!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Elk River on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,798 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elk River. About 92% of Elk River sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
